just wondering if we ever could introduce coho smolts into buntzen lake. would there be enough food source for them such as kokanee and smaller trout or minnows as they mature into 2 and 3 year olds. the lake does look cold and deep enough. they do survive in the great lakes and some are in kawkawa lake i believe. Would make for a great fishery if it ever could be financed from the government. what do you guys think.
-
I'd rather they got stuck in a river and came back larger than the size of a candy bar myself.
-
Coho are planted every year into lake oroville in california never been to buntzen but id assume it may be possible.
-
What is the diffence of a trout and a coho if they are both raised in a lake?

The difference is that one is a still a trout raised in a lake and the other one is still a coho.... ::) ::)
-
Why coho? I would think kokanee would be better than coho. Just like Matt said if we have extra coho to transplant than put them in the rivers.
The coho in Kawkawa are no bigger than 10-12'' and dont fight nearly as well as the kokanee.

hey there itosh you sent me a message early on but could u message me your email.so I can get a hold of you ....
and i agree with the point of what if there are extra coho put them in the rivers

Since hatcheries do not use eggs from clipped fish for rearing then why dont they try stocking the lakes with eggs of hatchery returned coho. I'm sure landlocked coho would taste better than rainbow trout anyday.

Wrong the hatcheries use the eggs from the fish that return to the hatchery (for salmon).
Steelhead are the only ones with a broodstock program as far as I know.

I say just stick to kokanee. They've been doing it a while after all.

??? My dog was raised in a house, but its still a dog.
-
True. But I still like to catch a coho in a river although a coho is still a coho in a lake.
-
i thought only wild salmon eggs were used in the hatchery collections. thanks for clearing that up.
-
buntzen lake does have the odd kokanee however, there is very little nutrients in the lake
-
Some rivers brood stock salmon too.
ya some do, but i was under the impression that most hatchery fish are from a single source or limited sources since we dont have enogh funding to take broodstock from every location we stock. Examples are Pennask lake rainbows which provide broodstock for most of LMD lakes and in WA state almost all the steelhead come from the Kalama system - they dont spawn successfully in other rivers, at least not enough to render yearly stocking unnecessary. just what i was told by a US biologist - im no biologist. Im an architect. And a lover.
